Gas consumption in the Netherlands has fallen sharply. In the first five months of this year, 25 to 33 percent less gas was used than in previous years, figures from Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) show on Friday.
The decrease is partly due to the high prices and the warm winter, write Minister Rob Jetten and State Secretary Hans Vijlbrief of Economic Affairs in a letter to the House of Representatives.
Prices have risen sharply due to, among other things, the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February. Before that time, gas also became more expensive, because after the corona pandemic the world economy recovered quickly and the demand for energy rose sharply.
A campaign was run in April and May to encourage gas savings. The cabinet wants to continue this campaign in the autumn.
